BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH - OCT 2009

We are all affected by the dreaded 'C' word at some time in our lives, whether it's personally or someone we know. I lost a friend to breast cancer 10 years ago at the age of 30 and it's definitely made me much more aware of how precious our lives are and sometimes how tragically short.

I've had this Pink Ribbon fabric in my workshop for a little while and as it is Breast Cancer Awareness Month this month I decided to make up some bags and donate 20% of the retail price to Cancer Research UK. I have teamed the fabric with a bright pink heavy weight cotton blend and it closes with a gold coloured magnetic fastener. This bag is just big enough to carry all your essentials or would be a great way to carry your lunch to work. It measures 9" tall x 10" wide with a 3" bottom, has 1" wide handles that are 15" long giving a drop of 7". It is interfaced with volume fleece so will stand up on its own but is soft to the touch. It costs £12 plus £2 p&p. I will be making a larger version of this bag sometime this week and will be adding them both to my Misi shop. If you are at all interested in purchasing one of these Pink Ribbon bags then please do not hesitate to contact me.
